Eagleheart: Shattered Forest

This is a Warriors fan fiction. It takes place during Bluestar's Prophecy, kind of towards the end. As much as I love Warriors, I do not it nor any of the characters. Thank you.

PROLOG:

“Everstone!” The she-cat’s body hit the ground, blood spouting out of the wound on her throat.

“You get away from my mother!” Shrieked a calico she-cat. The tiny she-cat threw herself onto the wolf that attacked her mother. The wolf flailed, but she sunk her claws deep into his flank. She launched herself onto his head and bit down on his ear. The wolf screeched in pain and ran off, leaving the she-cat to tend to her mother. She was smaller than her mother, perhaps seven moons old, but her size and age was no exception to her fighting skills.

“Everstone! Wake up! Please!” The she-cat ran over to her mother. Everstone slowly opened her eyes, but they were glazed over, unable to focus on her daughter.

“My daughter,” Everstone whispered. She shifted, revealing a small, glassy, sky-blue and white stone. “Take the Sky Stone… the rest… the rest is in your paws…”

“Everstone you can’t! Please! You can’t go!” The calico cat nuzzled her mom.
“I can’t stay… StarClan… your father is waiting for me…”

“Everstone don’t go… you can’t!”

“Find Hourglass… he will take you back…”

“Wait! Don’t go!”

“Goodbye my sweet daughter. I love you.” Everstone closed her eyes and sighed, one last time.

“Goodbye mother… I’ll miss you…” Tears slipped from her face. She burried her muzzle in her mother's still flank. The let the tears drip into her fur. She didn't want to go. But she had to. It all rested in her paws now. She picked up the stone and ran through the field, the fray of cats and wolves.

“Hurry! We must go! Where is Everstone?” A tall, black tom-cat asked her once on the other side.

“My mother is dead.” She said through clenched teeth, she was grasping the stone in her maw.

The tom bowed his head sadly. “I’m sorry for your loss. But we must hurry.” The she-cat nodded and they ran through the chard remains of what once was the forest.

They stopped to catch their breath and a grey and white she-cat strode out of the shadows. She was missing an eye and an ear. Starlight shone through her pelt. Her eyes were glazed over. Blue like vultures eyes.

“Hourglass-” The black tom started. But the gray she-cat cut him off.

“I know why you are here. And you are brave to take this fate upon yourselves. Come, and follow me.” The she-cat started to run. The two other cats followed. Starlight shone brighter in the gray she-cat’s pelt, while stars accumulated in the pelts’ of the others. They were in StarClan now.

Run. The gray she-cat’s voice pierced the air. But she wasn’t there anymore. I wish you luck. StarClan will light your path.

The two cats ran faster and faster, their pelts becoming brighter and brighter. Lightning flashed. The she-cat began to slip away.

Help me!

Hold on! We’re almost there!

I can’t! I’m slipping!

Come one! Don’t let go!

I- I can’t hold on any longer! I- Whaaaaaaa!

NO!

Everything went white.


Lightning flashed. Hourglass was standing alone in the forest. She feared what had just happened. She stared into the sky, her starlit fur not even touched by the breeze. “Don’t let go, little one. The fate of the Clans lies in your paws now.”

Wow, thats really good I can't wait for more.

CHAPTER 1: The Sign

__________-----_______

“Do you think it’s dead?”

A Redpaw prodded at tiny calico she-cat lying limp on the Sunning-Rocks.

“Redpaw! Stop that!” Bluefur hiss, cuffing the apprentice’s ear.

Whitestorm stepped forward and sniffed the she-cat. “Doesn’t smell like a rouge or a loner.” The young warrior announced to the patrol.

The young she-cat began to stir and sat up groggily. She jumped back at the sight of the clan cats. She arched her back and hissed. From the patrol, Sunstar stepped forward.

“There is no cause for alarm, we won’t hurt you. We just want to know your name.”

“My name?” The she-cat asked, wearily. “E-Eaglepaw.” She stuttered.

Redpaw flattened his ears. “Eaglepaw? You mean you’re a clan cat?” He asked. “You sure don’t smell like any clan cat I’ve ever met before.” He said, absent-mindedly.

Bluefur cuffed him over the ear. “Hush! You sound more like a kit of two moons, than an apprentice to me. Perhaps you should return to the nursery.”

“NO! I’ll be good, I promise.” He whimpered.

Sunstar interpreted the two. “Well, Eaglepaw, what clan are you from?” He asked.

Eaglepaw looked up at him, with a fear-filled, confused expression. “Clan?” She squeaked, afraid that he might hurt her.

Sunstar and Bluefur exchanged glances. “You mean you have no idea where you’re from?” Adderfang piped in asked.

Eaglepaw shook her head. She paused and thought hard for a long time. She shook her head again.

“Do you even know where you are?” Tigerpaw scoffed. Thistleclaw beamed down at his apprentice, as if he was happy about his input into the conversation.

Eaglepaw shook her head, again. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t like this apprentice.

“Tigerpaw, be quite.” Whitestorm ordered. Thistleclaw glared at the white warrior and opened his mouth to snap at him, but Sunstar interrupted.

“Thisleclaw, I want you, Adderfang and Tigerpaw to finish the patrol.” The ThunderClan leader stated. Thistleclaw opened his mouth to protest again, but Sunstar shooed him away.

Redpaw stood up and prepared to follow, but Sunstar stopped him. “Not you, Redpaw. I have a special job for you.”

Redpaw looked up at his leader, his eyes shinning.

“I want you to take Eaglepaw back to camp and show her to the apprentice’s den. Is that ok?” He asked.

“Yes! Of course!” Redpaw beamed. “Come on Eaglepaw! I gotta show you to ThunderClan!” He ran off.

Eaglepaw looked at him cautiously. He seemed trustworthy. She bounded after him.

Bluefur, Whitestorm, and Sunstar followed them.

They padded into camp and immediately entered the medicine cat’s den “Goosefeather?” Sunstar asked.

“In here.” Goosefeather called.

They three warriors sat down inside the den. They told the medicine cat about Eaglepaw and Sunstar’s decision to let her into camp. “Are you sure that was wise?” Goosefeather asked.

Sunstar nodded. “She’s just a kit. She looks barely apprenticed. I couldn’t leave her out there to die.”

“But she might be ShadowClan!” Bluefur hissed.

“She was not SadowClan!” Sunstar hissed in reply.

“He’s right.” Whitestorm added.

Bluefur bowed her head. “You’re right. Leader’s word is law. Forgive me.”

Sunstar licked the top of her head. “I do don’t worry.”

Goosefeather looked at him. “You must tell her to leave! She is a threat to the clan! I sense it!”

Sunstar looked at him, shocked. And nodded. “I will tell her to leave ThunderClan.” He turned around and stopped.
A huge eagle revealed itself from the top of a pine tree. It lifted its wings and cried with a voice of thunder, protecting her nest from a racoon.

“Sunstar, stop!” Goosefeather cried frantically. “It’s a sign from StarClan! She of the pure eagle’s heart shall cry with a voice of thunder to protect her home. Eaglepaw is destined to save ThunderClan!”
